Front end 'pull'

[laynevans]

Having owned an optima s(u)x nearly a decade ago, loosing money unloading it, because it wouldn't drive straight, I am extremely sensitive to this.

That said, my experience with the stinger ('22 MY) is that it is sensitive to road imperfections. Steering in general is quite responsive (tiny inputs = big changes). Tire PSI plays a role in this too. Higher pressures amplify this effect. However, it's nowhere near as bad as the optima was, requiring constant corrections to keep it straight on a straight interstate.

Our '15 accord sedan was easier to keep straight, but it's steering had a larger ratio (more steering change needed for similar amount of correction).

Was this dealership visit supposed to be under warranty?

Yes I was expecting it to be warranty. At the start of the visit they said it would be $130 something but I said no so they said they would waive that... But then at the end they said they'll just charge the $70 and for some stupid reason I didn't complain.

Not sure what the warranty terms are in the UK, but here, within the first year (and some mileage number), things like alignments are covered under warranty.

I would of put up a stink to pay anything.
